NEIV YORK, ASSIGNOR FEED OR CARRIER MECHANISM.

SPECIFICATION forming part of Letters Patent No. 443,184, dated December 23, 1890. Application filed July 2'7, 1889. Serial No. 318,932. (No model.)

To aZZ whom, it may concern:

Beit known that we, SOL. WILE and HENRY LACAssE, of Rochester, in the county of Monroe, in the State of New York, have invented new and useful Improvements in Feeds or Carriers, of which the following, taken in connection with the accompanying drawings, is a full, clear, and exact description.

Our invention relates to an improved feed or carrier, and has for its object the production of a simple and effective device which will readily feed the desired article to the required position; and to this end it consists, essentially, in impinging faces for engaging the article to be fed, a gage for causing the fed article to assume the desired position or plane in relation to the impinging faces, a lock for retaining said arms in their engaging position, and a discharge for discharging the fed article.

It furthermore consists in the detail construction and arrangement of the parts, all

as hereinafter more particularly described, and pointed out in the claims.

In describing our invention reference is had to the accompanying drawings, forming a part of this specification, in which like letters and figures indicate corresponding parts in all the views.

Figure 1 is a plan view of our improved carrier and its actuating mechanism. Fig. 2 is an enlarged plan view of the actuating mechanism of the carrier, illustrating the detail construction and arrangement thereof. Fig. 3 is an elevation of the parts shown in Fig. 2. Fig. l is an elevation further illustrating the operating mechanism of the feed or carrier. Fig. 5 is a plan view of a portion of the mechanism illustrated in Fig. 4.. Fig. 6 is a longitudinal vertical section taken on line as 00, Fig. 1. Fig. 7 isa horizontal section taken on line 11 y, Fig. 6. Fig. 8 is a plan view of Fig. (3, and Figs. 0 and 10 are respect ively plan and elevation of the gage and discharge for our improved carrier.

The frame A, to which the carrier is attached, may be of any desirable form and construction, but is here represented as the frame of our improved machine for corking bcttles and wiring the corks thereto, de-

scribed and claimed in our application of even date herewith. Supported in the bracket A, formed or provided upon the frame, is the supporting-rod B, preferably of cylindrical shape, and prevented from turning in the bracket A by a set-screw b. Mounted upon this rod B are disks C, between which are pivoted at d the oscillating arms D, ar-

ranged in pairs upon said disks. Pivoted at e to the outward free extremities of said arms are the impinging faces E, preferably provided on their adjacent bearing-surfaces with yielding plates E,formed of rubber or other suitable material. At the opposite extremities of said arms D, and pivoted thereto at f, are the toggle -levers F, pivoted to each other at f. A cam G contacts with these toggle-1evers and preferably with a roller f provided at the pivotal point thereof. The pivotal pin f of the toggle-levers extends upwardly beyond the upper disk C into a camway H of the cam H. The operatingfaces of the cams Hand G are of the same contour, the cam Gr serving to straighten the toggle-levers F and lock the impinging faces E against the fed article, and the cam H serving to separate the impingingfaces E by forcing the rollersf into a cutout G of the cam G. In order to guide the toggle-levers in said operation, we extend the common pivotal pin f thereof into a groove C in the lower dislc C. This pin is preferably provided witha roller f guided in the slot or recess C.

The pivotal pins d of the arms D are preferably adjustable toward each other to adapt the said arms for various sizes of articles to be fed. This adjustment is preferably secured by providing a concentric slot cl in the disks C, in which said pins are supported. The pins are retained in the desired adjustment by means of a nut or other clamping device (Z secured at the upper extremity of the pivotal pin, which draws the parts together and retains them by friction.

In order to adapt the bearing-faces to the various contour of the articles to be fed, it will be noticed that they are pivoted to the arms D, which allow them to readily adjust themselves, as desired.

By reference to Fig. 6 it will be seen that the cams G and H are rigidly secured to the supporting-rod B, and that the feeding-arms rotate around said bar. Rigidly secured by a set-screw t to the rod 13 is the bracket 1, in the free extremity I of which is guided a rod 1 having an enlarged extremity 1 between which and the extremity I of the bracket I we interpose a spring I. At a desirable distance above said enlarged or supporting extremity I are the levers U, which will be presently described. These levers are a desired distance above the plane of the bearing-faces E, and when the article to be fed is placed upon the yielding support I the same is depressed until the top or other portion of said article contacts with said levers, which thus form a gage and adjust the article to its dcsired position.

It will be understood, as illustrated in the drawings, that when the article to be fed is placed upon the support 1 the arms D are at their open adjustment, and the said article is readily'forced between the open bearing-faces E. Immediately after the placing of said article the peculiar shape of the cam G forces said bearing-faces tightly against the article to be fed, and it is thus secured in the desired plane in relation to the carrier-arms. This is a feature of great advantage and allows any desirable operation to be readily and quickly performed upon said article by any particular construction of machine or device to which said article is fed or carried.

Depending from the lower plate 0 is the hub 0 which is supported in a hollow hub J by a set-screwj. This hub J projects upwardly from a plate J, provided with notches j. lll'ounted above the plate, and preferably pivoted to the hub J is the lever K, having a dog pivoted thereto at 70, with its free end adapted to engage the notch 7" of the plate J. The lever K ispivoted at L to the bar L, jointed at Z to a bar L, supported in a bracket L secured to the table A. At the free extremity of the bar L is a lug L, between which and the bracket L we interpose the spring L", which constantly forces said cam away from said bracket.

Mounted upon a shaft M, secured by brackets (not illustrated) to the frame A, isan operating-gear M, having a cam-tooth m which contacts with the lug L compresses the spring L and rotates the disk or plate J a desired distance around its supporting-rod B. It will thus be seen that the carrier-arms are rotated around the bar B, and are operated to feed the. desired article from the support 1 a desired distance around said bar B. The disk J islocked in the desired position by means of a sliding lock Nengag-ing notches 7' in the peripheral edge of the said disk or plate. This sliding barN is guided at one extremity in a bracket N and at the other by the bracket L Formed upon said rod is a shoulder or washer N between which and the bracket L is interposed aspring N constantly forcing said look into the 'notchfi. The free extremity of the bar N is hinged at N to a lever N pivoted at n to a bracket a, mounted upon the main frame. The upper extremity N of said lever is bent forward toward a suitable cam 0, provided with a projecting tooth 0, which rocks said extremity backward, and thus draws the sliding rod N backward against the action of the spring N and withdraws the locking extremity thereof from the notch j This camtooth 0 is so timed in relation to the camtooth m that the lock is withdrawn just before the operation of the actuating-rod L.

The cam-tooth 0 is of short operation, and

immediately after the commencement of the rotation of the plate J the spring N forces the extremity of the lock against the periphery of said plate, and when the succeeding notch 7' is registered therewith the plate is automatically locked in its adjusted position. It will thus be seen that an intermittent movement is givento the carrier, but it will be understood that, if desired, the same might move continuously.

By reference to Fig. 0 it will be observed that the frame supporting the carrier-arms is adjustable in relation to the hub J. This allows the carrier-arms to be moved toward the support I and adjust the device to various sizes or heights of articles to be fed or carried. Suitably arranged in relation to the rod B is a support P for the fed article, which is placed thereabove when the arms D are registered therewith. As previously described, the top or other portion at the upper extremity of the fed article is brought to the desired plane, and it frequently happens that the bottoms of said articles are not in the same plane.

In order to provide for the varying planes of the different fed articles, we prefer to make the support P movable up and down and preferably adjustable to the desired height. This movement is preferably produced by mounting said support upon a screw-shank P, guided in an opening A. of the bracket Bearing upon the top of said bracket A is a gear P provided with a central opening 19, having screw-threads engaged with the threads of the screw-shank P. Meshing with this gear P is the segment Q, which is operated to rock said gear first in one direction and then in the opposite. This segment Q, as best shown in Fig. depending hub J of the plate ordisk J. Provided upon the hub Q of the segment Q is an arm Q pivoted to which at r is the bar R, hinged at t to a sliding bar T. Secured at the outward extremity of this bar T is the lug T, against which bears a cam-tooth m, provided upon the gear M, previously described. This cam-tooth m forces forward the lug T against the action of a spring T interposed between said lug and the supporting-bracket L Upon the forward movement of the rod R the segment is forced in the direction indicated by the arrow and the gear lowers the support P by 5, is pivoted around the- IOC means of the shank P. Immediately after the disengagement of the cam-tooth m and the lug T the springT retracts said segment, and thus forces upwardthe support P against the bottom of the fed article. As the motor force of this movement is a spring, it will be understood that should the lower extremity of the fed article extend farther than usual the support would then be stopped as soon-as cont-acted, and as the screw-shank is engaged with the gear 1? the support cannot be forced downward unless it is rotated, thus allowing any operation to be performed upon the said article. The support P is preferably loose upon its shank P, and is formed with a guideway or groove p, registering with a guide or rib 19 secured to the frame A, thus causing said support to move up and down without rotating.

The levers U, which, aspreviously described, form a gage for the fed article when being fed upon the yieldingsupport 1 are preferably mounted in aguideway 1 of the disk 2, loosely mounted on the rod 13. These levers U are pivoted at u to a supporting rod or pin U, preferably depending below said levers. As shown in Fig. 7, these depending bars U ex tend through the upper plate 0, and are thus rotated around the bar B by the movement of said plate. Mounted above the cam H and rigidly secured to the rod B is a cam V, having a camway V arranged in the periphery thereof. Provided upon the downwardlyprojecting rod U is a stud or roller Uiwhich rides in said camway V. As the disks 0 rotate the levers Uaround the rod R, the levers U are forced upward or downward, according to the form of the camway V in the cam V. This camwayis of suitable form to cause the said levers U to stand at the desired plane above the fed article upon engagement of the same with the feeding-arms D, as previously described. It is also preferably of such a construction as to cause said arms to descend below the top plane of the fed article and support the upper extremity thereof during any operation performed thereupon. This downward movement may occur at any desired place, but preferably occurs just before the registration of the fed article with thesupport.

Upon reference to the section-line on which Fig. 0 is taken it will be understood that the support shown in said figure is in a plane back of the plane of the fed article, which article is illustrated as moved forward from above the support. During this movement of the bottle the levers which embraced the top of the bottle when the same was over said support have by the camway V "been moved upward from around said bottle, and after the levers U are sufficiently removed above the fed article the camway Vthen forces said levers U downward and contacts them with the top of the bottle. Before this last operation of the leversU the cut-out G of the cam G is registered with the rollers f of the togglelevcrs F and the impinging faces E are loosened from engagement with the fed article. It will then be readily understood that when said levers U are brought down upon the top of the fed article the same is readily forced or discharged from the arms D. When acting as a gage, the leversU are brought closely together, and when acting as a support for the top of the fed article said levers are forced apart in order to allow them to encircle the bottle. These operations of the levers U are brought about by a cam \V, rigidly secured to the rod 13 and of suitable contour to close or approximate the levers toward and away from each other at the desired points. These levers U, as shown in Figs. 8 and 9, are formed with rearwardly-projecting extremities U pivoted to which at w are the toggle-levers W pivoted to each other at V. Projecting upwardly from the pivotal point of the toggle-levers \V is the pin Y, guided in a guide or slot 1 of a disk y, secured above the cam \V. As previously described, the cam \V closes or approximates the levers U and brings about this movement by straightening the toggle-levers Said levers are separated by means of a lever X, pivoted at a; to the underneath side of the plate y. This lever is formed with one arm :12 bearingagainst the outward face of the upwardly-projecting pin Y. The opposite extremity of said lever contacts with a pin Z, secured upon the cam W. This cam V is stationary, and as the said arm of the leverX is contacted wit-h the pin Z it is rocked outward and the opposite extremity is rocked inward, forcing inward the projection Y and opening the levers U. This pin is placed upon said cam at the desired point to bring about this movement of the levers U, in order that they may encircle the fed article.

The operation of our invention will be readily perceived from the foregoing, and it will be understood that the fed articles are placed with their tops in the desired plane in rela tion to the feedingarms and that they are then fed to mechanism,which operates upon them as desired, and they are then finally discharged from the carrier. This carrier or feed is cs- ICC pecially applicable, as stated, forour improved machine for corking bottles and wiring the corks thereto. In this machine it is necessary that the tops of the bottles shall be brought to the desired plane in relation to the corking and wiring mechanisms of the said machine. It will be seen that at Fig. 1 we have illustrated in plan this twisting mechanism S of our machine for corking bottles and wiring the corks thereto; but it is not thought necessary to describe said mechanism in our present invention. It will be understood, however, that we do not limit our invention to its use upon any particular form of machine; neither do we limit the carrier or feed to the relative arrangement and construction of its parts, since it will be understood that the relative arrangement of the feeding-arms and the gage and discharge for the fed article might be varied from that described, according to the requirements of the machine of which said carrier forms a part. It will also be understood that considerable change may be made in the detail construction and arrangement of the parts without departing from thespiritof our invention.
